Fomenting #Antisemitism

Not Combating It

Timothy #Snyder Apr 12, 2025

The Trump people claim to be fighting antisemitism, and the media often accept that framing. I believe, on the contrary, that these actions are antisemitic in intention and in execution. The use of the word “antisemitism” as a covering pretext for defunding #education empties the concept of meaning. ...

Trump's Psychological Vulnerability

And the #Destruction of the American #Economy

Timothy #Snyder Apr 10, 2025

All his adult life, #Trump has been ripping people off. That is his modus operandi. Rather than a conscience, he has the habit of displacement. It is not that he is ripping people off. Everyone else is ripping him off. ...

Civil Rights and Historical Honesty

A historian's reaction a recent executive order

Timothy #Snyder Apr 01, 2025

The president has issued an executive order entitled “Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History.” Like most of these executive orders, it seems illegal on its face: the president can only execute the laws; he cannot just himself decide how our museums and parks will work or look. ...

The #Imperialism Has no Clothes

JD #Vance in #Greenland

Timothy #Snyder Mar 29, 2025

The threat in the #Arctic invoked by Vance is #Russia; and of course defending against a Russian attack is the #NATO mission. But right now the United States is supporting Russia in its war against #Ukraine. ...

Putin's IBS

situation in the #United_States.

Their example was followed by philosophy professor #Jason_Stanley, who specializes in the study of #fascism and propaganda.

In 2021, #Snyder, #Shore, and #Stanley co-taught a course at #Yale called “Mass Incarceration in the #Soviet_Union and the #United_States.” All three attributed their decision to leave #Yale to the political climate in the #States.

Auf die Frage des Guardian, was es bedeutet, wenn ein Faschismusforscher die USA verlässt, antwortete #Stanley: "Zum Teil ist es letztlich so, wie man Deutschland 1932, '33, '34 verlassen hat. Meine Großmutter verließ Berlin mit meinem Vater 1939. Es ist also eine Familientradition." #Snyder #USA #USExit #Shore derstandard.de/story/300000026

I don't intend to criticise Jason Stanley or Timothy Snyder for going to Canada because I don't know their personal circumstances. They haven't been detained, they haven't been tortured but they've made the decision to leave. They have concluded that even being senior academics at an elite university isn't going to protect them. That's a pretty damning indictment of supposedly independent institutions.
